  • Toward computer vision for understanding American football in video

    Creator:
    Hess, Robin W.
    Abstract:
    In this work, I examine the problem of understanding American football in video. In particular, I present several mid-level computer vision algorithms that each accomplish a different sub-task within a larger system for annotating, interpreting, and analyzing collections of American football video. The analysis of football video is useful in...

  • Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

    Creator:
    Koo, Chang Sul
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...

  • Learning with Partial Supervision for Clustering and Classification

    Creator:
    Pei, Yuanli
    Abstract:
    In the field of machine learning, clustering and classification are two fundamental tasks. Traditionally, clustering is an unsupervised method, where no supervision about the data is available for learning; classification is a supervised task, where fully-labeled data are collected for training a classifier. In some scenarios, however, we may not...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

  • Incorporating User Feedback into Machine Learning Systems

    Creator:
    Das, Shubhomoy
    Abstract:
    Although machine learning systems are often effective in real-world applications, there are situations in which they can be even better when provided with some degree of end user feedback. This is especially true when the machine learning system needs to customize itself to the end user's preferences, such as in...

  • Nanoparticle-assisted diffusion brazing of metal microchannel arrays : nanoparticle synthesis, deposition, and characterization

    Creator:
    Eluri, Ravindranadh T.
    Abstract:
    Microchannel process technology (MPT) offers several advantages to the field of nanomanufacturing: 1) improved process control over very short time intervals owing to shorter diffusional distances; and 2) reduced reactor size due to high surface area to volume ratios and enhanced heat and mass transfer. The objective of this thesis...

  • Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV 136Xe+26, Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV ¹³⁶Xe⁺²⁶

    Creator:
    Sadi, Supriyadi
    Abstract:
    Microstructure changes in uranium and uranium/metal alloys due to radiation damage are of great interest in nuclear science and engineering. Titanium has attracted attention because of its similarity to Zr. It has been proposed for use in the second generation of fusion reactors due to its resistance to radiation-induced swelling....

  • Parsing with Recurrent Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Cross, James Henry, III
    Abstract:
    Machine learning models for natural language processing have traditionally relied on large numbers of discrete features, built up from atomic categories such as word forms and part-of-speech labels, which are considered completely distinct from each other. Recently however, the advent of dense feature representations coupled with deep learning techniques has...

    Abstract:
    Direct red Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Turbine hybrid plants have the potential to dramatically increase power plant efficiency, decrease emissions, and provide fast response to transient loads. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Hybrid Performance Project is an experimental hybrid SOFC plant, built at the National Energy Technology Laboratory...

  • Resource placement, data rearrangement, and Hamiltonian cycles in torus networks

    Creator:
    Bae, Myung Mun
    Abstract:
    Many parallel machines, both commercial and experimental, have been/are being designed with toroidal interconnection networks. For a given number of nodes, the torus has a relatively larger diameter, but better cost/performance tradeoffs, such as higher channel bandwidth, and lower node degree, when compared to the hypercube. Thus, the torus is...
